Alexa Grasso ended Valentina Shevchenko’s reign at UFC 285. After seven successful title defenses in the women flyweight’s division for ‘Bullet’, the belt is going to change hands due to a quick back take and rear-naked choke submission win by the Mexican in the fourth round. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the co-main event.
Alexa being patient and looking sharp #UFC285

Not sure a head and arm throw is gonna end well for Shevchenko here. We have a fight here. Grasso isn’t messing about.

Man Grasso is doing well but she has to be careful over extending on her punches.#UFC285
